Google ordered to pay $425 million in app data collection lawsuit

A federal jury ordered Google to pay $425 million in a class-action lawsuit. The lawsuit alleged Google collected user data despite users disabling tracking features. The plaintiffs argued Google continued data collection through connections with other apps. The lawsuit covered 98 million Google users and 174 million devices. The jury found Google liable on two of three privacy violation claims. Punitive damages were not awarded due to the jury's findings. Google's spokesperson stated the decision misrepresented their products and intends to appeal. Google faces multiple similar lawsuits regarding data collection practices. A previous lawsuit regarding Incognito mode resulted in a $5 billion settlement. Google admitted to data collection in Incognito mode and agreed to delete collected data.
